Carmel Bird short fiction award

Carmel Bird Award winner: Alex Cothren

September 16, 2013 / Angela Meyer (LiteraryMinded) / 4 Comments

I'm pleased to announce that the winner of the Carmel Bird Short Fiction Award 2013 is Alex Cothren, for his wonderful story 'A Cure'. 'A Cure' stood out for me due to its imaginative speculation on the limits of 'misery' entertainment (and potential abuses of brain-tech), and questions it raises around the effects of saturation … Continue reading Carmel Bird Award winner: Alex Cothren

New job!! Delighted to report that today I start a fixed-term full-time contract as a lecturer in RMIT’s well-regarded Master of Writing and Publishing. I’m excited to work with Tracy O’Shaughnessy, Rose Michael & others, and look forward to meeting the students. With my small research component I will continue my work on sustainability in the Aus book industry 😊📚🌳
Pizza Girl 🍕 by Jean Kyoung Frazier. Gobbled this up. A young, pregnant pizza girl is drawn to an older woman who orders a pepperoni with pickles for her son. It’s a book about a young woman coping with overwhelming change & responsibility before she’s really had a chance to decide what her life might look like. She’s cared for and cared about but she has an undeniable drive toward escapism, toward more or something *else*, and it’s somewhere between an urge to destroy and one to nurture. The presence of her alcoholic father, now dead, looms large. It’s tightly written, a sympathetic and satisfying read.
